Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

Q is at the midpoint of RS and so PQ is a median

A median is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

We want to define what type of line is PQ (the line that passes through points P and Q) by looking at the given image, one can easily see that the line PQ is a median, now let's explain why.

First, let's analyze the image:

In the image, we can see that P is one vertex of the triangle, and Q is the midpoint of the segment RS (you can see that RQ = 4 and QS = 4) , where R and S are the other two vertexes of the triangle.

Particularly, we can define a median of a triangle as the line that passes through the midpoint of one side of the triangle and by the vertex that does not belong to that side.

With that definition, we can see that PQ is a median because Q is the midpoint of one side of the triangle and P is the vertex that does not belong to that side.
